Over the past week, some
of our Grade 7 & 8 students had the opportunity to participate in the
annual York Region Skills Challenge. This competition focuses on solving
21st century problems using technology and construction materials in coming up with innovative designs and
ideas. Through their creativity, determination and teamwork, our Johnny
Lombardi students performed extremely well, placing near top in most of the
contests. Students competed in Construction Design, TV/Video Production and Character Animation. Our Character animation team finished second place and the TV/Video
production team finished first, qualifying them to advance to the next round
which is to be held in Toronto in April. We are proud of their accomplishments
and wish them well in the next round. Congratulations go to the following students for making us all very proud: Grade 7- Aathish, Vishal, Adshaya, Sophia, Vaani, Veronica, Harry and Rayan and in Grade 8- Brandon, Bradley, Denilen, Kainat, Frazia, and Rateeba. Thank-you to Mr. Meagher and Mr. Pereira for supporting and inspiring our students.
